Arming With The Power Lock Switch - Buick 2006 LaCrosse Owner's Manual

Arming with the Power Lock Switch

The vehicle's content theft-deterrent alarm system can be
activated when the key is removed from the ignition and
the power door lock switch of either the driver's or front
passenger's door is used to lock the vehicle. The door
needs to be in the open position when pressing the power
door lock switch. The alarm system will not activate
if the door is closed when the power door lock switch
is pressed. This system can be activated through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). See "CONTENT THEFT"
under "Customization Menu Items" in DIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 3-73.
When the doors are locked using the power door lock
switch of either front door, the red light on top of the
instrument panel will start flashing at a fast rate,
indicating that the system is arming. After all the doors
are locked there will be a time delay and then the red
light will begin to flash at a very slow rate, indicating
the system is armed.
Arming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when the remote keyless
entry transmitter is used to lock the doors after the
key is removed from the ignition. The red light will
come on to indicate that the system is arming.
After all doors are closed and locked, and after a
time delay, the red light will begin flashing at a very
slow rate to show the system is armed.
Arming Confirmation
A red light located on top of the instrument panel,
towards the center of the vehicle and near the
windshield, will flash slowly to confirm when the
system is armed.
